Pre-Concert Talk

To hear a well-rehearsed, top-shelf big band these days is a rarity — much less with a major jazz star at its helm.

Christian McBride already has more notches than can fit on any belt. But until 2011’s The Good Feeling, McBride had never recorded an album with his own big band. As the title implies, it’s a swaggering, hard-swinging session featuring a cast of New York’s best sidemen, winning the GRAMMY Award for Best Large Ensemble Jazz Album in 2012. For this exclusive show, jazz and R&B crossover star José James joins the band as a special guest vocalist.

“The musician with the technical, compositional and emotional skills to take jazz to another plane.”
— Variety

“One of the premier musicians of his generation…”
— Downbeat
